§ 17-38. Assigning of names.

(a)

The developer, builder or the owner or his representative at the time of submitting a preliminary plat or plan, shall submit a street naming plan for review by the director of community development and the city's staff. Such plan shall be reviewed, approved and modified by the director and city staff not more than 60 days after the approval of the plat or plan by the city council and the assignment of the names and numbers by the director shall be final.

(b)

City streets shall not be required to fall into any pattern of alphabetical sequence.

(c)

Major emphasis shall be given to avoiding duplicate and similar sounding names, and to attempt, if possible, to maintain a common theme, i.e., names of states, flowers, presidents, etc. within a proposed development which is not similar to other existing developments.

(d)

All suffix names presently existing shall be retained, and all future developments, east and west streets shall be roads and north and south streets shall be drives. All other streets shall be consistent with street naming guidelines and policies.

(e)

Existing street names shall be extended where practical.
